Reddit user claiming to be Shkreli's (ex)girlfriend makes an AMA post. (archive)
The Girlfriend
Her name is Lauren Hayden. According to her
Linkedin she's a math & science tutor based in California (in her AMA she says she moved away from Cali to be with Martin but later got kicked out. If her AMA is to be believed she currently lives in Laguna Beach). She also claims she worked in the military as a mathematician before switching to her current job.
She has since deleted her Reddit account but there are
Google Archives. Her Reddit account was brand-new and listed her real name as "Jessica", but she claims it's her "fake online name".
In the thread she makes the bold claim that her family is richer than Martin is, and hence she wasn't in for the money.
She also posted proof that she is indeed Martin's girlfriend, but the said proof is since removed. Some guy on reddit posted mirrors of the proof, but I don't know he got everything. The phone number in the screencap is
legit, though she claims it was public info anyway.
She also did a similar post on /r/martinshkreli (

The Thread(s)
To be honest I didn't dig much into the main content of her threads, mainly because I'm not into Shkreli as a lolcow. So everything I mention here is superficial; I read most of her posts and wrote some of them here without doing any extra digging.
Most of her replies are mundane shit; he doesn't have any kinks, has an ok-size penis, he's emotionally fragile, etc.
That being said, there are some interesting bits. Obviously take all this with a huge grain of salt; she's a gullible & abused woman who's a walking "high IQ rick and morty" meme, so she's far from a reliable narrator.
- Martin never listened to the Wu-Tang album past the first track.
- He proposed to her at a Tiffany's and he streamed it. After she said yes he said he was just kidding.
- He never wanted to have sex with her despite living together.
- He's into women with self-esteem issues & he likes to emotionally abuse them. Lauren claims a young woman might end up killing herself, as she "almost wanted to". I found this bit funny: "He'd only let me or my dog in the house certain hours of the day."
- He's still conducting his business from prison via a stole phone. He's still "influencing market prices" and "convincing very young girls to do his bidding" (whatever that means).
- He cheated on her with 2 underaged (17) girls
If you want more "inside info", you can always contact her.
She gave her phone number to a redditor when she was asked to, so she's not very "internet smart".
